    Very thorough but could use more "why use this service over this service," keyword associations (realtime -> kinesis over sqs) and other exam shortcuts that help with general understanding.

    Good explanations and examples. This is the second time that I prepare for the SAA exam. I liked this course more than the previous ones I used.

    I need 15–20 minutes for some 3–4 minute sections because I have to google the information myself or ask ChatGPT to explain it to me. Sometimes abbreviations are used that are never explained in the course. The same goes for references to things that were never mentioned. The slides are also not always up to date with the new AWS interface. The course is okay overall. But unfortunately only 3 stars. The other 2 stars go to Google and ChatGPT — without them I would have returned the course with one star long ago. :-)

    The content is explained very basically and the speed of the lector is not normal. It is clearly seen that he is reading some prepared text without deeply going though the material and topics.Labs are only click game sometimes even I need to stop the video six times and can not see what is typed in the configurations.Very poor content! Really poor!
